About Sedgwick Ave

Sedgwick Ave is a handwriting typeface that reproduces the look of graffiti written with a broad marker. In the specimen the letters lean to the right, strokes are thick with blunt rounded ends, and shapes are narrow and upright in structure: the A has no pointed apex, the g and y end in sharp hooked descenders and the zero carries a slash. Letters do not connect. The project comes as two designs: Sedgwick Ave, described by the official notes as the one for text sizes, and Sedgwick Ave Display for larger settings. This family has one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 611 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Pedro Vergani and Kevin Burke are credited as the designers, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Flyers for music and street events

Marker-drawn graffiti forms set the tone for gig listings, skate events and community notices.

Social media graphics

Thick strokes keep a short handwritten line readable over an image.

Comics and zines

Unconnected, slanted marker letters work for speech, labels and asides that should look written by hand.
